Not great - we're lacking combinations down the middle despite Rostov leaving Texas-sized holes there, instead we prefer crossing the ball from wide and half-space positions. Mostly they haven't lead to anything, except for the very last one before the end of half-time which Müller converted with a good run. I think we'll focus a lot more on possession in the second half.

The ideal team

--------Müller with gloves---------Müller--Müller--Müller--Müller---------Müller---------Müller-----------Müller----Müller----Müller-------------------Müller---------------

Nothing to comment about the game, a ridiculous penalty in our favor and 2-0 lead from Muller out of nowhere(hardly the commentator announced his name before the goal) Too many crosses, the pitch is in bad shape... Game is over and deleted in my memory already unless we produce some magic in the second half, quite unlikely

They have a lot of factors in their favour:

1) Their unknown quality, a.k.a. the surprise factor. They know more about us than vice versa.2) They have nothing to lose. No expectations upon them.3) They have much higher match fitness because their league started quite a while ago.4) They only have one missing player.5) Our players may be suffering from overconfidence. Theirs have just the right confidence given their mauling of Ajax.6) This match is a dream come true for many of their players and they will fight for every inch.7) Ancelotti may be resting some regulars.

I understand that you guys expect a win, and I also predict a win, but I'm not as confident as you guys due to the above. In fact, I'd be more relaxed if we were playing, say, Tottenham Hotspur.
